Back to the Music

It's almost the end of the year and, of course, that means the obligatory year-in-review lists. As tiresome as these lists may seem, though, it's always interesting to look back on everything that's come out in the past year, because you really do forget sometimes how recently something came out. Case in point: Gnarls Barkley's "the Odd Couple." Maybe it's just because I've been listening to it a lot since it's come out, but it feels like way more than a year since it's release. In any case, though, it's always interesting to revisit everything from the past year to really give the year's music a solid evaluation.

I'll be working on putting together a best of 2008 list within the next few weeks, but in the mean time, are there any albums from this past year that stood out to you? Seriously, if you're reading this, comment. I'd love to hear other opinions.
